I have always wondered how children with Halo braces are safely transported in a vehicle. Take a look at some of that I found:

Halo Traction:
Recommendations for car safety seat and safety restraint use are limited due to inconclusive crash testing on restraints with this medical condition
Select a car safety seat or safety restraint with adequate space for the halo
Select a car safety seat or safety restraint with a harness that is easy to route over the shoulders and secure
Make sure the car safety seat or safety restraint allows for easy evacuation of the child in case of an emergency
Tethering of a forward-facing car safety seat or restraint is recommended even if it is not required by the car seat manufacturer
Consider the use of an E-Z-On Modified Vest for a child over 2 years of age and 20 pounds, which allows them to travel lying down on a vehicle seat
Consider the use of a Spelcast car safety seat (and some conventional seats) for a child under 40 pounds. The harness system is attached and adjusted from the front allowing the shoulder harness to be placed over the shoulders and then secured
Consider the use of a Columbia 2000 where the shoulder harness straps can be placed through the harness slots from the front of the car safety seat while the child sits in the car safety seat
